Recently we had a bunch of unreleased or prototype cards emerging.
In this thread I wanted to gather all the cards that got revealed but never saw an official release.
Cards that come to mind are:
Feel free to all the cards you know of that could be made into a card that never got distributed.
Thereâs a post about Prototype-like Moltres, Articuno & Zapdos !
Not sure what your criteria are but Pikachu (BW Promo 77) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven PokĂ©mon encyclopedia (bulbagarden.net) and the Raichu (BW 78) was never released in English despite the original intention to be. I do wonder at times if they ever got printed and could be floating around somewhereâŠ
Depending on your definition of âunreleasedâ
You can also add protostoise and maybe disco holo base sheet
Do Art Academy cards, that have never been sold by the actual winners, count as âunreleasedâ? lol
Disco and Cosmos Base set holos
Weâve already seen several prototype cards, but I find this article quite interesting, explaining their âhistoryâ and comparing their design with the final one.
Arenât these cardsâ design and artwork for the phonecards?
They were originally real cards?
What magazine/book is this taken from?
These and the legendary birds artworks are amazing!!
@mika Yep, thatâs the post I was getting the pictures from 
Thank you for linking it 
@pfm Prototoise is a good one. But I donât know if I would add the sheets. Then would also include all the other test print sheets and so on.
@decoypalmette they definitely count. Where did you get them from?
@swolepoke I wouldnât add the Art academy cards since they technically got an official release. But it would be interesting to know which cards never got sold.
@genchiro @TheMarillFoundation unfortunately I canât remember, I saved them years ago in my google Drive with many others artworks and cards that I thought were interesting. They were probably floating around twitter though, since itâs where I was usually for inspiration and tcg contents.
Edit:
Nevermind lol, found through google lens. They were a proxy unfortunately.
I did know about the Vaporeon but I didnât know about the Flareon. Wished they were actual cards than in the game only. 
Here are some photos online that Iâve saved over the years
The âit got awayâ lot of e-series Test Prints. All these were under one Yahoo Auction listing
Some more e-series Test Cards
Black border Protostoise
This non-holo holo Clefable from Jungle
Same story with this non-holo Base 2 Charizard
1st edition stamped Unlimited cards
A deck made just for Ishihara. The card inside is also authentic.
There is also a set of 2 Prime cards that are that of Ishiharaâs pet dogs but I donât have that photo. Holo and all
EDIT: Found the photo. WHOOPS, turns out they are non-holo
Man those Japanese prototypes take me back! That was such a once in an lifetime auction!
Oh man! I would have loved it if they made these cards back in the day. Iâm surprised there wasnât a mock up GB Jolteon.
Did an e4 member win that Japanese prototype auction? 
I am not sure but I donât so because none of these cards were ever seen again since. I think it was sold some time between 2015 and 17.
There is a Jolteon. Probably wasnât mentioned because the artwork was used in Lt. Surgeâs Jolteon.
@eeveeteam Nice to see. But we agree these are proxy cards, right?
@chok What an amazing post. Thank you for bringing so much value to this thread. Pretty cool finds.
